Cleo really not saying very much

Wasn't sure where to post this so I guess Tech Support drew the short straw.

I've been playing Elite for two years and finally decided to get hold of Voice Attack and the Cleo voice pack, just a week ago.

Couple of days of using a lapel mic and my loudspeakers was so unsatisfactory - Cleo would respond to her own responses coming through the loudspeaker - that I bit the bullet and bought a headset. I don't like using headsets, but VA seems to work properly through it, sooo......okay.

My problem/gripe is that Cleo doesn't seem to say very much apart from her command responses and acknowledgements. I've set 'Invoke Mode On' with all Invoke Questions set to 'On' but not once has Cleo asked me if I want the landing gear deployed or to clear the area or anything. I've set 'Interaction Mode On', in case that has to be set as well, but still no Invoke Questions, small talk or any unprompted remarks or comments. Just command acknowledgements and associated responses.

Am I doing something wrong or is Cleo just not very talkative ?

I'd originally planned to buy one or two more voice packs to build up a Crew Roster, but I have to say that I'm very wary of doing that now.

Overall, I have to say I'm a tad disappointed. I hope I'm doing something wrong.

If you look in the customiser (say "Protocol Override, Customise my settings" to access this) and look in the "Invoke Questions" category, you can set as to how often they will trigger, and what not (and how often it should trigger if enabled)

So with a frequency set to 1, it should trigger every single time it is available to ask )

Interaction mode: After you give a command, there is a chance that they will pipe up just asking a non related question (ie not to do with docking if it was a docking command).
Chit-Chat: Just those "flavour" responses to random lines

Controller: Choosing that as the baseline means that in the keybind creator it would use the default Elite Dangerous X52 binds setup (so both joystick and keyboard values) and only fill in the stuff for keyboard presses where there isn't one for a command.

Side Note: Believe it or not, Frontier uses different keyboard presses for the same action in different control scheme, so they are not consistent with themselves...

All updates to existing packs are for the foreseeable future will be free.

In terms of "when will they happen?" No ETA. And that is purely a scheduling thing.
